Aggressive Bladder Cancer: Tips to help hold meds in bladder?

Had my third gem/doc treatment yesterday. I made it through, but I had quite a bit of discomfort. The infusion nurse said many patients terminate the treatment early. I didn’t consider doing that because I want full benefit of the prescribed treatment. Three down and three to go. Good luck to all those on the board.

My husband has found it easier with the last two treatments he has had. He has 6 more to go. He is able to hold it in for 60 minutes. I find that if he avoids drinking anything 4-5 hrs before his appt. He does better. Especially coffee. I also think it depends on the RN doing the treatment. I can tell by his face as he is being set up. I think if things are positioned just right he’s able to hold it. Good Luck everyone.. keep the faith … we got this!!!!👍
